If I put one into my inventory it disappears. :cry:
My trees are back!! *happy dance* :D
Yay! \o/

Milk&Cookies are there, too, and the doors at the movie studio are back :D

I find it quite annoying that now, in order to get the free one, I first have to place all of the time I have in inventory.

Is that a change this year? That hasn't been the case in the past.

I am building a Christmas themed lot and can't place two windows next to each other on a corner. I can place windows next to each other on a straight wall but not a corner. I tried different windows and it's the same thing for each. I've built many houses in the past with windows placed next to each other on corners. But since this update I can't seem to. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing or it is it just my game?

I've been having this problem long before this recent update. But it happens only with certain windows types.

I have to move any furniture away from the corner and then place windows. I can then move the furniture back with no problem but if the furniture is there to begin with the windows won't place.

You can use the duplicate button to get the free one :) (I just tested it and it worked)

I think I’ve missed out on a couple of items this year but I already have a Christmas house so I’m not as bothered. When the quest starts I won’t have to remember to check in every day...

I‘ve got the same problem like SeekerDraconis. I wanted to replace a patio with a glassrom, so I removed patio and furniture, built the room and placed the windows. It wasn‘t possible to place the windows next to each other on the corners :(

That's my problem exactly! I've just started building, so haven't placed furniture yet. This absolutely sucks!! :cry: I hope this is something they fix soon!
